Posterior compartment of the forearm The posterior compartment of the forearm (or extensor compartment) contains 12 muscles which are chiefly responsible for extension of the wrist and digits, and supination of the forearm. It is separated from the anterior compartment by the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna.uscles [edit]. There are generally 12 muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm, which can be divided further into the superficial, the intermediate and the deep layer.

Extensors of the Hand Extensor Pollicis Brevis. The extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) muscle most commonly originates from the radius and interosseous membrane on the dorsum of the forearm.

Chapter 10: The forearm 10-2 The compartments of the forearm are the anterior, for the flexors (median and ulnar nerves), and the posterior, for the extensors (radial and posterior interosseous nerves). See figure 10-1.

Fasciotomy for Acute Compartment Syndrome Decompression fasciotomy of the forearm is performed through a volar approach, a dorsal approach, or both. In the forearm, unlike the fascial compartments of the leg, the volar compartment, dorsal compartment, and mobile wad compartment (containing the brachioradialis and radial wrist extensors) are interconnected.

Brachioradialis Innervation[edit] Despite the bulk of the muscle body being visible from the anterior aspect of the forearm, the brachioradialis is a posterior compartment muscle and consequently is innervated by the radial nerve.

- Extensor tendons are located on the back of the hand and fingers and allow you to straighten your fingers, wrist and thumb (See Figure 1).These tendons are attached to muscles in the forearm. As the tendons continue into the fingers, they become flat and thin. In the fingers, these tendons are joined by smaller tendons from the muscles in the hand.

Extensor indicis muscle Extensor indicis muscle is labeled in purple. [edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the extensor indicis [proprius] is a narrow, elongated skeletal muscle in the deep layer of the dorsal forearm, placed medial to, and parallel with, the extensor pollicis longus. Its tendon goes to the index finger, which it extends. 1 Structure.

Elbow joint Muscles that cross the elbow posteriorly include elbow extensors, the supinator, and the wrist and forearm extensors, which originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Flexion of the elbow joint is controlled by the brachialis, the biceps brachii, and the brachioradialis. 1  The brachialis is the chief flexor of the elbow. 2  Its proximal attachment is on the distal half of the anterior humerus, extending distally to the coronoid process and tuberosity of the ulna.

Forearm The forearm contains many muscles, including the flexors and extensors of the digits, a flexor of the elbow (brachioradialis), and pronators and supinators that turn the hand to face down or upwards, respectively. In cross-section the forearm can be divided into two fascial compartments.

Direct Radial to Ulnar Nerve Transfer to Restore Intrinsic Muscle Function in Combined Proximal Median and Ulnar Nerve Injury: Case Report and Surgical Technique The posterior interosseous nerve was again identified distal to the supinator. There, the terminal branches of the posterior interosseous nerve were separated and stimulated to confirm identification and function of the extensor digitorum communis, extensor digiti minimi, and the extensor carpi ulnaris.

Superficial flexors of the forearm The following muscles are known to be the superficial flexors: 1  Pronator teres muscle: originates at the medial epicondyle of the humerus (humeral head) and coronoid process of the ulna (ulnar head). 2  From there it courses under the brachioradialis and attaches to the lateral side of the radius.he superficial flexors of the forearm are a group of five muscles found at the anterior forearm.

- The superficial layer of flexors in your forearm contains three muscles -- flexor carpi radialis, or FCR; flexor carpi ulnaris, or FCU; and flexor digitorum superficialis, or FDS. The FCR attaches to the base of your wrist, toward the thumb-side of your hand.

Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve. Though the radial nerve receives contributions from vertebrae levels C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1, studies have shown that the neurons that innervate the extensor carpi radialis longus arise from cervical vertebrae levels C6 and C7.

- There are numerous reports of anatomical variants of the muscles of the forearm, particularly the extensors of the wrist and hand. Research studies show that spinal extensor exercises are the preferred choice for strengthening back extensors (Fig 6) (13,19). The concept allows a terminal box to be mounted top, right or left by using an extensor without disassembling the complete motor, thus reducing modification time and reducing stocks.

Muscles in the Posterior Compartment of the Forearm The radial nerve innervates all muscles in the extensor compartment of the forearm. In the event of a radial nerve lesion, these muscles are paralysed. The muscles that flex the wrist are innervated by the median nerve, and thus are unaffected.

What is the function of the Extensor Muscle? The extensor muscles work in groups and are of various types. They are: Extensor carpi radialis brevis: It is a flat yet wide and short muscle which starts from upper arm bone or the humerus and tapers down to the two third distance of arm and become a long flat tendon.xtensor carpi ulnaris: It is a superficial muscle located inside the forearm and is narrow, long and flattened. It extends further from the upper arm bone and reaches the fifth metacarpal bone present inside the little finger. Here it penetrates with the help of flat, narrow tendon.

Muscles in the Anterior Compartment of the Forearm There are many muscles in the forearm. In the anterior compartment, they are split into three categories; superficial, intermediate and deep. In general, muscles in the anterior compartment of the forearm perform flexion at the wrist and fingers, and pronation.
